I'm withdrawing as well.


No worries, I do appreciate a withdrawl of your application before you start the adventure rather than two months into the game. Thanks for your interest and happy gaming!


Hello West, Long time no see. Glad to stumble into old friends again. Perhaps you don't remember me from the World of Greyhawk!


Hey Brosh! I remember you, of course! Been a long time, my friend! Thinking you were in my RttToEE adventure?


You are correct, I was there when you started the adventure on WoG, point in fact, as Brosh! Is this the same adventure continued?

Are you still in need of adventurers? I'd be happy do dust off someone from my past and return them to life!


Heck yes, my friend! Though I gave up on RttToEE a couple years ago, this one is another 3.5 game I started back on WoG and it's getting close to the end game - probably about 3/4 of the way finished. Got a cleric of 11th level? If not, I'll have the NPC cleric that got killed become raised from the dead and you can make whatever character you like! A wizard type might be helpful, though the party has a gnome beguiler with a good repertoire of spells - though without the variety a spellbook offers.

Let me know as soon as you can, I'm wanting to get this adventure started again after I stalled it out badly over tax season. You'll find another familiar face in Morrow Tue, by the way. But I'll let him introduce himself! :)


I have Cora, 9th level Malconvoker I can level up by two levels. She played with you in another game.

She is close to level and very capable in many ways that will not overlap with a Beguiler as her banned schools are illusion and enchantment


My first choice would be Cora, but I also located my Cleric of Atroa, a heal bot (at low levels anyway) now a caster cleric. She was level 6 but could be leveled up to 11.

Too bad I can not find Thorgrim Ironshanks of the Hammerhand Clan of Bazrac Nalgrin, now there was a fun RP battle cleric.

I'm interested.


Does the party's Wizard have a particular specialty, or are they a general spellslinger? I have a Sorcerer concept I've been chewing on, but Sorcerers' limited spell selection means you've gotta be careful picking a niche.


Brosh, definitely go with the one that sounds more fun for you - and yes, I remember Cora!

Qstor, the beguiler in the current party has a lot of deceptive-type spells, if that helps. No spellbook, but the class as a very good selection of spells for any given situation they might encounter.


Awesome, Cora it is. What do you need me to do with her? She is level 9 now, you want me to up her to level 11? Any other changes I need to do to make her appropriate for these boards?


Well, the WOG CS copied over rather well, I'm glad to say.


Side question, what is WoG?


WoG is the World of Greyhawk, a PbP forum that both West and I played on for a very long time.

I see, thanks! :)

I wish I could play, but I don’t really have time to make a mid lvl caster right now. I might have one made already but can’t check right now anyway.


Yep, get to her 11th level, Brosh/Cora. Feel free to update her backstory to reflect her further adventures if you feel up to it! What adventure was she in? I remember the name, but can't recall the details. Hell, I can barely remember the games I had. RttToEE for sure, I know I was running Mummy's Mask toward the end there, and this one too... Oh yeah, was it Fane of the Witch King, maybe? I remember that one as well. Damn, came so close to finishing that one before it fell apart. I think I kinda hand-waved the end, if I remember right.


I was in a game with you, Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. I was actually in a game of your before that one which we finished naturally. Using the search engine on Tapatalk, Morrow was with her in Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk, if this Morrow is the same one.

I'll level her up to 11, and choose items equal to the difference between 9 to 11 and update her CS as soon as I can.

She has some things form WoG that I don't see here, traits and flaws as well as Imbued Staff. Do I remove those?


Yup, same Morrow, aka AGM Lemming! So you were in THIS game, a long time back? Very interesting... Do you recall the in-game situation when you left the party? Traits, flaws and the Imbued staff are all fine.


Although the player playing Glorb has long disappeared, I have taken over playing Glorb as a backup support PC. Since Glorb knows Cora maybe he sought out her assistance here?


How do I deal with hit points for both levels?

I left WoG when things started migrating over here, 2018.

My last scene included finding a stranger in a fine robe in a prison cell.

It would appear Cora is already known by this party and I was mistaken that is was Brosh, he was in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. I was very close to 10th level, so perhaps I returned to the City of Greyhawk to train and encountered some side adventure along the way before returning to the party.


A suggestion - we went looking for an expert in K Planes for info about arrow demons and succubi before. Perhaps Cora heard about our inquiries and came to fill us in (I am assuming that a Malconvoker is strong on K Planes).


Well, that is an interesting way for me to return to the adventure after having left for personal growth and discovery. I will follow that route and when I return I WILL, I did not previously, have high K planes. Malconvokers are masters of Bluff (complete Scoundrel book PrC after all) and my Bluff will be +24 at level 11.


I just levelled my skills, I am an expert in creature knowledge, especially about planar creatures, +23 to identify planar monsters.


Looks like you find a natural fit for the role, but if a slot opens later I have a level 12 weretigress.


Good idea, Fash! We can say Glorb - using his numerous contacts in Greyhawk as a well-known bard - was able to reach out to Cora and learn that his old acquaintance had some interesting information. Let me think on what I want you to know, there may be something I can come up with pertaining to stuff yet to come in the adventure module.


I think I have everything updated on my CS, just need HP rolls. Its is actually +20 k Planes for monsters, I was wrong earlier.

I like the idea of her knowing something. Perhaps I left the adventure to pursue studying the history the Ruins or of the monsters within there. That sort of idea suits her, though she has no ranks in k History. It both explains her leaving and her returning.

You want me to play the beguiler? just wondering


No, no, the beguiler is still in play with the original player...


Alright, so I'm hoping to get this adventure moving again very soon. Qstor, if you have interest in playing the cleric who was killed (and can be raised again), feel free to do so! His name is Verdan and his character sheet can be found here.


Any space left here? I can whip up a 3.5 PC pretty quickly.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I'll make him in herolab and then create a character here.


Sure, feel free! Still looking for a cleric (or a character strong in healing), but I'm setting a deadline of Saturday noon EST. I'll be continuing the adventure, at that time. So long as you've got a character that is basically complete (stats, abilities, feats, equipment, etc) I'll take them at face value and go over them more carefully in the next week or two to advise of any needed modifications (if any.)


Here's the bones of my guy. It looks like the team needs a heavy front liner so this is a Cleric but melee focused. I just need to buy equipment for him and he's done.

He's a Boccob worshipper so maybe there's backstory with Morrow and is from a family of wizards and arcane spellcasters so maybe that could tie in with Fash's friend Kelviernan.

Looks great at a glance Vegeir, welcome to the adventure! I'll bring you and Cora into the game with my next post. Please feel free to RP your way into the group using whatever background exposition you're comfortable with - either on your own or in tandem with another player character. Just make sure the other player is on board with the background tie-in as well!
